Markdown to PDF — Rendered in Your Browser

Markdown is the format everyone writes in and nobody can hand to a client. This renders it — GFM tables, task lists, fenced code, headings, quotes and images — and lets you save the result as a PDF whose text is still text: selectable, searchable and copyable, not a screenshot of a document. Paste it in or drop a .md file, and the preview you see is exactly what prints, because the export keeps the same element rather than re-rendering it. Raw HTML inside the Markdown is sanitised before anything is displayed, which matters the moment you paste a README you did not write. Nothing is uploaded: the parsing, the rendering and the printing all happen in the tab.

Text Stays Text

The PDF keeps selectable, searchable text and vector type — not a flattened picture of your document like canvas-based exporters produce.

Real Markdown Support

GFM tables, task lists, fenced code blocks, nested lists, blockquotes, images and heading anchors all render the way they do on GitHub.

Pasted HTML Is Sanitised

Markdown may contain raw HTML, so scripts, iframes, forms and inline styles are stripped before the preview renders a single character.

100% Browser-Only

No upload and no server copy. Drafts, contracts and internal notes are rendered on your own device.

!How It Works, Step by Step

Paste Markdown into the editor, or drop a .md, .markdown or .txt file. Nothing is uploaded.

Watch the preview on the right — that pane is the document that will print.

Optionally set a title, which becomes the suggested filename, and tick "Start each section on a new page".

Click Save as PDF and choose "Save as PDF" as the destination in your browser’s print dialog.

In Your Browser vs. on a Server

Feature	Local (Us)	Cloud Tool
Text in the PDF	Selectable and searchable	Often an image of the page
Privacy	No upload (browser-only)	Document uploaded to a vendor cloud
Raw HTML in Markdown	Sanitised before rendering	Varies, and rarely stated
Cost	Free, no account	Often limited or paywalled

Technical FAQ

How do I convert a Markdown file to PDF for free?

Open this page, paste the Markdown or drop the .md file, and click Save as PDF. Your browser’s print dialog opens and you choose "Save as PDF" as the destination. The whole conversion happens in the tab — the file is never uploaded — and the resulting PDF keeps real text rather than a picture of it.

Why does it use the print dialog instead of just downloading a PDF?

Because that is the route that keeps the text selectable. A web page cannot write a PDF to your disk on its own; the alternatives are to draw the page onto a canvas and embed that image, which produces a blurry, unsearchable document, or to ship a large PDF engine to your browser. Printing uses the engine your browser already has, keeps type as vectors, and costs one extra click in a dialog you already know.

Which Markdown features are supported?

GitHub Flavored Markdown: headings, bold and italic, links, images, ordered and nested lists, task lists with checkboxes, tables, blockquotes, horizontal rules, inline code and fenced code blocks. Headings get anchors, so internal links keep working. Two things are deliberately absent: syntax highlighting inside code blocks, which renders as plain monospace, and Mermaid diagrams, which need a separate rendering engine.

Is it safe to paste a Markdown file I did not write?

Yes, and that case is specifically handled. Markdown is allowed to contain raw HTML, so a document can carry a script tag, an onerror attribute or a javascript: link. Everything is passed through DOMPurify before it reaches the preview, which removes scripts, iframes, forms, embedded objects and inline styles. Nothing in a pasted document can run.

Can I control where the page breaks?

Partly. Tick "Start each section on a new page" and every second-level heading begins a fresh page. Beyond that, the tool avoids breaking inside code blocks, tables and quotes, and avoids stranding a heading at the foot of a page. Finer control — exact page sizes, margins, headers and footers — belongs to your browser’s print dialog, where the paper size and margins are set.

Does my Markdown get uploaded anywhere?

No. The parser and the sanitiser both run in your browser, and the print step is between you and your own operating system. Open your developer tools, switch to the Network tab and render a document: no request carries the text. That is the difference that matters for unreleased notes, internal documentation and anything under an NDA.

How large a document can it handle?

Up to 300,000 characters, which is a few hundred pages of prose — past that the tab starts to feel slow while typing, so the editor stops there rather than degrading quietly. Very large documents print faster if you close other tabs, since the rendering and the print preview both use your own memory.
